Muscle tissue is three times more efficient at burning calories than fat. Here is a video that explores how form fits function, introducing anatomy and physiology. The instructor then explores homeostasis, hierarchy associated with anatomy/physiology, four major tissues found in the body, and finishes reviewing the 11 systems of the body.

Instructional Ideas

• Video best fits during introduction to the human body or anatomy/physiology unit
• Show this video before any others in the series as it reviews all of the systems in the body
• Have pairs determine other examples of form fitting function and share with the class

Classroom Considerations

• If assigning as homework in a flipped classroom, be sure everyone has access to the Internet
• This is video 12 in a series of 21

Pros

• Video includes high-quality images and diagrams to hold viewers' interest
• Nice, simple introduction and overview of anatomy and physiology makes the concepts clear and easy to understand

Cons

• None
